Iconic Movie Moments That Became Better With Famous Lines Not In The Script

The movie “They Live!” didn’t do so well in theaters at first, but it later became a cult favorite. A big part of its fame is thanks to a line said by the actor Roddy Piper. In an important part of the movie, his character says, “I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick a**… and I’m all out of bubblegum.”

The interesting thing is that Piper just made up this line on the spot. The director, John Carpenter, liked it and wanted to keep it. This line has become really famous and is often copied in popular culture. It’s an example of how a small, improvised moment can make a movie special.
